Aloysius Minch is the spouse of Lardna Minch and the father of both Pokey Minch and Picky Minch. He is first seen in Onett near the start of EarthBound after returning Pokey and Picky home, where he scolds them for being out so late. (In Mother 2, he beats them.) He can later be seen in Fourside while Pokey is helping Monotoli. In EarthBound, he holds a grudge against Ness and his family, since Ness's father borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars from him, but Mr. Minch openly admits it could have been a lot less. After the game is over, Aloysius can be found in a bar in Fourside.
